Romance, Love Or Relationships:

If you are currently in a romantic relationship, you may be feeling a bit disconnected. It is important to let your partner know what is going on inside, but remember that your feelings are your own, it is not necessarily their job to try to make you feel fabulous all the time. It may be that you simply need some time apart. Don’t hesitate to take it. If you’re looking for love, now is not the time to push. You’d be better off getting very, very specific about exactly what you are looking for in a relationship. The time will come when you will meet someone. That time is probably not in the immediate.

Card Meanings: Contemplation, Feeling Overwhelmed, Spiritual Counselling Or Support, Mental Overload, Regrouping, Rest, Introspection, Self-Protection, Planning For The Future, Relaxation, Strife, Hospitalisation, Needing Solitude, Fear, Anxiety, Meditation, Peace And Quiet, Recuperation, Retreat, Stress, Temporary Exile, Sanctuary

The Four of Swords is a card that signifies a break (or need for a break) from normal life. This can also mean that you or someone in your life may withdraw for a time. This withdrawal is not likely to be permanent. It also occasionally means illness or time in the hospital or (even more rarely) in jail. It’s a clear signifier to give people their space.

Reversed Cards: During a retrograde cycle, planets go into a shadow phase. This is not the same as the shadow aspect of a card but is more an in-between phase. Here in the Four of Swords we see Jupiter coming out of his slumber and preparing for his newly awakened state. He has learned much during his retrograde vacation and is now preparing all his new information and knowledge so that he can leap forth once this shadow phase is complete. You may be feeling exactly the same way. Right now you are preparing and collecting all you have learned so you can hit the ground running once this in-between phase is over with.

Complete Book of Tarot: Trump 14: Temperance. Here again the tarot follows the order of cardinal virtues laid down by Thomas Aquinas. The angel of Temperance is mixing water and wine, just as a Catholic priest does during the sacrifice of the Mass. The sacrificial wine symbolizes the divine nature of Christ; and the water, his human nature. In Christian lore, Jesus was a perfect blending of God and Man. By overcoming Death (trump 13), Christ offered humanity eternal life. These accomplishments were certain to make the Devil (trump 15) quite unhappy.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Four of Wands suggests that you are establishing a firm foundation as you manifest the results of your work. If you have been involved in a project, you are now at a stage of completion and able to rest and enjoy the fruits of your labors. If your question concerns a relationship or business partnership, it is on a firm footing. This card often represents rites of passage such as weddings, births, bar mitzvahs, graduations, etc. The symbolism of a harvest-home is linked to the possibility of purchasing a dwelling or moving to a new residence.
